Research Expertise:
Smart Drones | Precision Agriculture | Deep Learning | Computer Vision | Coding Theory
My research interests lie broadly in artificial intelligence with a current focus on applications of smart drones for precision agriculture. Current projects involve developing computer vision models based on deep learning to allow drones to fly autonomous missions to precisely map agricultural fields in order to predict crop yield and detect plant diseases.
